In Rising Son, rising sun for the national of the country of the rising sun ... there has probably come orientation meeting with José James. Besides, he produced the album and sings on the resumption of Roy Ayers. Takuya wakes up? The rhythm section is strong. In the first 5 songs, you can feel the influence of J Dilla aka Jay Dee aka James Dewitt Yancey still in maginifique drumming Nate Smith. The game Takuya Kuroda adapts fully. The game is more muscular, short phrases in sync with the groove. It seems fond of this pulsation.
While the presentation of reports by Amazon Cd no spark reluctantly, and I would say great. The material provided by the musicians is neither splinters nor sparks but is a real pleasure consistency (drums, bass, keyboards, guitar). Nate Smith infuses this side more Hip (Hop) beloved by the young drummers Richard Spaven who just released a last Lp, Questlove, Karriem Riggins, Chris Dave ... these hip drummers (one ryhtme dry enough that we seized from the first piece of Rising Son).
For the word that I use Hip, listen Hip to Bop Maurice Brown.
To listen with a good sound system with a broad spectrum, hear car, Rising Son is a real pleasure.
